75. France, don’t lose your purpose.
I opened my eyes.
My whole body still hurt as if it was going to break, and my mind felt like it was in tatters.
“I survived.”
Looking down at her, she saw that her uniform was soaked with blood and discolored, and the floor was full of red marks.
It seems like the nosebleeds kept pouring out as if he was hemorrhaging blood.
“Whoa.”
I got up from my seat and relaxed. It wasn’t to the point where she couldn’t move.
‘Anyway, what did I remember from yesterday?’
The first conversation I heard was between France and Jean. The second conversation I heard was between the crown prince and Jin.
‘The memories are gradually coming back and starting to come together.’
I looked at the mirror hanging in the corner of my room. My reflection in the mercury looked so haggard that I was on the verge of death.
“Whoa…” ….”
Did your immersion deepen just by looking at France and thinking about wanting to be with her more?
Now I can’t even remember my real face. Even my parents’ faces and names. I don’t even remember what happened to my family members.
All I remember is vague information about Kim’s strategy and knowledge of the game I played before coming here.
But this too will disappear soon.
“Let’s come to our senses.”
My eyes widened as I hit both cheeks with my hands. I will never forget myself.
“I need to wash first.”
I went into the shower room at the training center, washed my body, put my blood-soaked uniform in the laundry room, and changed into a new uniform.
It was a uniform that covered my neck, made just for me.
“Shall we go?”
I left the training hall and went straight to France’s room. When I arrived at the door, Helena was there.
“Helle… ….”
“Hi!”
He runs away again this time. Yes, like a squirrel that encounters a person in the mountains…….
‘I’m slowly getting hurt.’
What happened while I was away? ? I tilted my head without realizing it.
“You should catch me and ask me sometime.”
I shook my face and knocked on France’s door.
“Princess. That’s me.”
―Come in… ….
A weak voice. I opened the door and went in. France was sitting at the table and looking out the window.
“Princess?”
France turns her head and looks at me. Her eyes are puffy, as if she’s been crying for a while. If this happens, I feel a bit sorry.
“Jin… ….”
France looks like she’s going to cry at any moment. To reassure her, I walked over and sat in front of her with a grin on her face.
“It’s okay now. “Yesterday was unusual.”
France opened her eyes and glared at me.
“Be honest. “That medicine is fake, right?”
What is it, how did you know? Was it too obvious?
“What are you talking about?” ….”
“I tried that medicine. “It was just star candy.”
I tried it myself. Maybe I viewed France too much as a fool.
“That’s right.”
“Why did you lie like that?”
“This is to reassure the princess.”
“… ….”
Ha, France sighed heavily and shook her head.
“Don’t tell a lie like that again.”
“… Yes.”
France reached out her hand and stroked my cheek.
“And please don’t get sick. “You know I can’t do it without you.”
“… ….”
Seeing France with puffy skin under her eyes made his heart hurt as if he had been stabbed. I need to stay as calm as possible so my emotions don’t explode.
“I heard it from Kazar. “I found a way in a newly acquired magic book.”
I wish that were true.
“I heard that the magic circle engraved on you and the magic circle that comes out of it are the same. “There will definitely be good results.”
France laughed hard. But she still looked bitter. Phew, I really hate this kind of atmosphere.
“That’s right. “Kazar is a capable wizard, so you will be able to find him.”
Here, we have no choice but to just agree. I continued with a smile to further reassure France.
“Now, let’s stop this gloomy atmosphere and focus on future business.”
“Do you want to talk about business in this situation? You could leave me right now…….”
France was depressed and drooped. But he has to push on here. Because I have to complete my planned project as quickly as possible in order to escape.
“Princess. As I always say, don’t forget your purpose. “Have you forgotten the promise you made to me at the Marquis of Eldas?”
The trembling green eyes are staring at me. Her eyes were full of hesitation and fear. I continued.
“Trust me. “I won’t die easily, leaving you alone.”
Only then did France nod her head with a faint smile. Her mood seems to have calmed down a bit.
“Let’s stop worrying and get back to talking about work. How far did you go?”
France told us what had happened. At Exceed, she recruited Frida’s workforce and created a workshop for them in the remaining building.
She also plans to open a jewelry and accessories store next to the clothing store.
The person who immediately carried out these events was Viscount Elvan.
“Viscount Elvan works quickly and well.”
“That’s right. “I just told him to do it and he did it all.”
I’ve never seen Viscount Elvan, so I don’t know exactly what kind of person he is, but based on what I’ve heard, he might be able to replace my business skills.
‘It’s going well.’
My replacements are increasing. Kajar, Kayle, Viscount Elvan.
If we gather more people here, there will be no need for me to be by France’s side.
‘It’s a little bitter, but I can’t help it.’
France knocked on her desk.
“So, now we’re starting in earnest, right?”
“That’s right. “Let’s send a copy to the Count.”
I brought the letter and pen to France, and France immediately wrote the letter to send to the Count. And even entrusted it to the bird and sent it away.
Now it’s not long until I see that. Because there is going to be something called a message stone.
“Ah, princess. “May I meet Viscount Elvan?”
“Huh? That’s no problem. “He’s probably still working at a clothing store.”
“Then let’s go right away. “I want to find out what kind of person he is.”
* * *
A clothing store that can be said to be the core of France Corporation.
France and I arrived here in a carriage.
The building next door is scheduled to be a jewelry and accessories store, so personnel from Count Dogeja’s family are already preparing for construction.
“Let’s go in.”
“Yes.”
As you enter the clothing store, it is filled with nobles. Employees from Frida were serving customers, and a person who appeared to be Viscount Elvan was at the center.
“It’s him.”
Blonde hair that looks like it’s been coated with gold, clear glasses, a straight beige suit, and a warm appearance.
It was a face that would have made the young ladies cry during the academy days.
“Viscount Elvan?”
Viscount Elvan runs straight to France’s call.
“Are you here, princess? Currently, the store is running smoothly and sales are increasing. Would you like to check the profit table first?”
Thorough business mode. France said, shaking his head.
“Let’s talk about that later. “For now, let’s just talk for a little while.”
“Ah, yes, I understand.”
Viscount Elvan nodded his head absentmindedly and led us into the reception room.
It was a room used for measuring or waiting when special guests arrived.
“What did you call me for?”
“I would like to introduce you to my escort driver.”
I bowed and said hello.
“This is Gene Barenberg. “I am in charge of escorting the princess.”
Viscount Elvan’s eyes widened.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Well, if it’s Jean Barenberg, that’s the best sword on the continent…” ?”
When France nodded, Viscount Elvan adjusted her glasses.
“I knew he was the princess’s escort, but this is my first time seeing him in person like this… ….”
Viscount Elvan looks at me as if he were looking at a celebrity. It seems that rumors about me have spread a lot among the nobles.
‘Well, he caused that fuss at the imperial party.’
France chuckled, perhaps finding that reaction funny.
“Everyone is surprised when they see my escort.”
“Yes, it has to be that way, isn’t it?”
Viscount Elvan still can’t take his eyes off me. I wonder if he is a fan of mine… ?
“Yes. I’ll leave my impressions here. “Can you please report on how things are going now?”
Viscount Elvan’s expression changed. He went into business mode.
He shows the organized data with a serious face, showing how much sales have increased, what the current workload is, and how many more people need to be hired in the future. It told me everything.
“You did a great job organizing it.”
“Because it’s work.”
Viscount Elvan raises his glasses with his index finger. Looking at you like this, you look like a competent office worker.
‘But you seem to be better at your job than me?’
If this happens, I don’t think I need to lead and manage the business. I never thought a secretary would be this helpful.
“Okay. Please continue to take good care of me.”
“Please take care of me, princess.”
As France stood up from her seat, Viscount Elvan bowed politely and returned to her seat.
“How do you feel?”
“He is a person who is serious about his work.”
“Right? “I was introduced to it by Exceed.”
The way Seldas looks at people is amazing.
“Do you have any more information about Viscount Elvan?”
“Oh, I heard something about that.”
France told us the identity of Viscount Elvan. She is a married woman with a family to take care of, and is said to be raising the family as the eldest son of Viscount Elvan.
Other than that, it is said that he was an elite member of the Academy and specialized in various office-related tasks.
“You are a person who specializes in business.”
“Yes, that’s why I chose this person.”
If you do this, there is no need to worry. I’m sure he will assist France well.
“We will meet with Count Dogeza tomorrow, shall we go to Kazar’s house now? “I need to find out more about your condition.”
I nodded at him, saying, “Sure.”
I left the store, got on a carriage, and headed straight to Kazar’s house.
France opened the door with magic, without knocking, as if he was used to it. Rattling.
“Kazar.”
“You came in without knocking again.”
Kazar shakes his head as if he doesn’t care anymore. I think France has been like this once or twice.
“Did you come because of Mr. Jin’s symptoms?”
“That’s right. “I want to ask you to check the current situation.”
“Yes. “Let’s do the test first.”
I sat down on the chair and showed my back to Kazar. Ka-Zar placed his hand on my back and poured his magic into me.
Once again, the feeling of being stirred inside my body. To be honest, I wonder if this is meaningful, but there was nothing I could do to deceive France’s eyes.
“Hmm. “There is no major problem.”
“Really? “Did it hurt that much back then?”
“You haven’t had any symptoms recently, right?”
France nodded her head. Ka-Zar continued, raising his finger.
“It seems like everything that had been building up exploded all at once. So it was more painful and serious than before.”
France became sullen after hearing the story and stroked my cheek.
“Please don’t get sick, don’t leave my side…” ….”
I smiled brightly at France’s depressed appearance.
“I told you not to worry. “I won’t die easily.”
After the fraud pretending to be a prosecutor was over, I stood up.
“I’m going to get some fresh air in front of the house.”
“Suddenly?”
“I just have something to think about.”
“… Okay, go ahead.”
I opened the door, came out, and sat down on the stairs.
To be honest, I don’t want to break up with France.
But I definitely felt it because of the synchronization that happened yesterday.
This world does not allow me to be with France.
“… “It’s bittersweet.”
Now, he no longer remembers most of Kim Gongryak’s life, and the fragments of Jin’s forgotten memories are being put together like a puzzle.
Perhaps one day, this will be completed and my memories will be perfectly recovered. And I will disappear.
As expected, I am Jin and Kim now. Which one is closer?
